I have a 1911, 1991 Colt Gold Cup Series 80 converted to a Series 70 by using a Wilson Combat "shim" that removes the unnecessary firing pin block and enhances the trigger. That modification makes it exactly like a Colt Series 70 which is perfectly legal to use in single stack (they don't have firing pin blocks). I know there is a USPSA rule based upon the modification of gun safety devices, but based on the foregoing, will I be able to use that gun in the Single Stack Division as modified?

Today I shot for the first time 10 mm ammunition in a full size 1911 style firearm. Before I purchased that gun, I read a lot about that caliber and there was a lot of commentary about its heavy recoil. Honestly, the recoil was more than tolerable and the rounds are very powerful and accurate. I think 10 mm is my favorite caliber now. Probably not ideal for anything that is a CCW, but for anything else, particularly with a full size firearm, I find them to be literally, a blast.
